Board Approves Donation to Cozumel

During the Board meeting on November 12th, a donation request in the amount of $1,750 for the purchase of three computers for the Jorge, Cozumel, Mexico primary school was approved.  The purchase will not only include three Teshiba laptop computers but also Windows, Microsoft office and Geek Squad support, in Spanish, for a year.   The computers will be utilizes by approximately 700 children and teachers in the school.   Dean and Gina Lange will carry the computers with them when they return to Cozumel later this month. 

 

Also, the Board decided to table the request for a water filtration system for the school.  We believe a Rotary International grant cna be obtained which we could combine with our dollars and other participating local clubs to possibly provide filtered water to all the schools on Cozumel not just this one primary school.  This will take some time and cooperation from the Rotary Club in Cozumel to explore this possibility.
